Well the engine in the old Aluma-lite died a horrible and painful death. Cracked block so I don't think I will be resurrecting it any time soon. Now for the 6 million dollar question: what steps…Continue

Does anyone know of a supplier of 3rd brake lights? The one on the Money Monster is missing the lens and doesn't work. It is 2 inches wide and 7.25 inches long.Continue

"Nope, the set up I have has a large aluminum bracket that bolts to the block with 2 bolts, then there are 3 steel brackets one has a sliding adjustment block, one is bent 90* with a nut welded on the bent part and the third is almost straight with a…"
"Ok I am stupid, I need pictures of how the AC brackets are on a 1991 chevy 454. Took apart to replace engine forgot how to put it back"
"Have a 1991 Holiday Rambler Aluma-lite P-30 frame Chevy 454. Anyone know how long the dip stick tube is supposed to be? lost the original"
"You might be right about having to cut the lower section and then patch it in later. On ours, there was a seam on the sides of the bumper, but yours doesn't have one. Before you cut anything, get under the bumper and confirm that…"
"Take the whole grill off...and the bumper. My whole front end came off when I rewired the headlights. Under that trim strip will be MORE screws, and the nose WILL come off..at least enough to remove the engine. "
"Well what I meant to say was there is no seam above the bumper between it and the grill. Now I wonder if I can just cut that small section out and the patch it back together?"

Water pump died
On the trip home the water pump on the 454 locked up. The mechanic where I work, a good guy and worth it I am sure, wants $600 labor to replace it. To be honest I don't have that much free cash. Can anyone give me some pointers on removing the front end on a 91 Holiday Rambler Aluma-lite and a list of tools so I can try and do this myself. I have replaced water pumps on 350's but not motorhomes.
